Playstation 3 Most Powerful Supercomputer in the World
(potentially) So far 13000 ish Playstation 3s have started doing folding at home producing 338 TFLOPS - more than double the TFLOPS produced by 160,000 ish PCs. If 18,000 more PS3s take part then the folding at home project will outperform the World's most powerful supercomputer and will produce 1 PFLOP. (Latest stats here - they've almost reached 1 Petaflop, and are currently producing 900 TFLOPS!)

Smashing. I guess multi-processing is the Playstation 3's big strength though isn't it? I seem to recall it's got some kind of multi-core thing going on or something. You can tell I keep up with these things, can't you?!
